Metrology Engineer
Description

The Metrology Engineer will ensure the accuracy and precision of measurements used in product development, manufacturing, and quality control, contributing to the overall quality assurance process. 


Responsibilities:

  • Analyze measurement systems, including statistical process control, (SPC), uncertainty analysis, and error analysis to ensure reliability and accuracy of measurements.
  • Participate in the creation of manufacturing process and equipment qualification validation plans, validation protocols and reports, and their implementation. 
  • Perform routine calibration, validation, and troubleshooting of precision measurement instruments and equipment, including but not limited to CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines), laser scanners, gauges, and various other tools.
  • Train and mentor junior engineers and technicians on metrology practices, calibration techniques, and measurement equipment. 
  • Maintain accurate calibration records and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Document measurement results, deviations, and corrective actions in detailed reports. 
  • Provide technical support to the manufacturing and production teams in selecting the appropriate measuring techniques and equipment for specific applications. 
  • Assist in root-cause analysis for measurement related issues. 
  • Participate in the creation of supplier process and equipment qualification validation plans, validation protocols and reports, and their implementation. 
  • Work closely with R & D, quality, and production teams to ensure measurement systems meet design specifications and quality standards. 
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and recommending solutions to increase measurement precision and efficiency. 
Requirements

Education & Experience: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
